Vintage Notes
With the perfect balance of warm temperatures and occasional
rainfall, the 2012 season turned into an exceptional vintage.
Bud break occurred during mid-March, about five weeks earlier
than usual, and set the tone for the rest of the season. Rivaling
the impeccable 2010 vintage, 2012 also saw a large number of
growing degree days, ideal for fully-ripened grapes and bold
wines. Due to the below average rainfall throughout the summer
months, disease pressure remained low, allowing fruit to thrive
with little intervention. These wines from the 2012 vintage are
beautifully balanced with bright acidity and fresh fruit flavors.
 
Vineyard Site
Davis Vineyard - Lower Block
Structured and harmonious, yet strong and elegant, our Davis
Vineyard is a spectacular representation of quality grape-growing
in the Finger Lakes. Hand-planted in 1998 about a quarter-mile
off of the eastern shore of Seneca Lake on Howard Gravelly Loam,
this 5 ½ acre site is perfectly suited to produce lively, old-world
style wines.
 
Tasting Notes & Food Pairing
Bold enough to stand up to grilled red meats, and hearty stews,
the Reserve Pinot Noir is also subtle enough to be an excellent
accompaniment to fowl, and a classic pairing with all mushroom
dishes.
